A Killswitch Engage Australian Tour 2014 has been announced.

Presented by Soundwave Touring, American metalcore mavericks Killswitch Engage play capital cities Down Under this April, with metal supergroup Kill Devil Hill as support.

Killswitch Engage’s Alive Or Just Breathing album was a watershed moment in metal in 2002 as it heralded the birth of ‘metalcore’.

Now, more than a decade later, the five-piece have reunited with original singer Jesse Leach. “This change is very exciting,” the band said upon announcing Leach’s triumphant return. “We know you’re going to love it. This is truly a new era in KsE history and it is ready to shred your face off.”

With a new album in their arsenal, Disarm The Descent, the sixth in the band’s career, Killswitch Engage bring their visceral live show to Australian audiences once more.

Joining Killswitch Engage for their upcoming tour will be Kill Devil Hill, a veritable supergroup which sees members of legendary bands Black Sabbath, Dio, Pantera, Down and Ratt sharing the stage. In the country after releasing their newest record, Revolution Rise.

Don’t miss this heavy metal double bill as it hits Australia this April.
